Bearing Material
(OP)
Can anybody recommend a material that could be used to make steel the wearing material. The load on the bearing is high and a steel on bronze will not work. The load is on the order of 1200 kips.

RE: Bearing Material
The rubbing velocity.
The pressure on the rubbing surface,
or the area of the rubbing surface and the load in some force unit.
What lubricating fluid if any is present.
What do _you_ mean by 'kips'? It's not a standard unit everywhere.

RE: Bearing Material
Shaft diameter and speed of rotation is what we need to advise on bearing types as there are a range of materials we use.
We have tested our bearings to 1,000,000Kg or 2,200,000 pounds for use in crane pulley blocks.
Thes were Maritex composites.
RE: Bearing Material
The rotation of the shaft is around .2 RPM with a diameter of 33". The load is 1.2 million pounds.
